How to avoid the worst of it today

Do the square's ritual early, then leave it to its fate. Marienplatz before the chimes, St Peter's tower for the panorama, the Viktualienmarkt for late breakfast — the old town's essentials, done before the tour tide peaks. Ritual sights (a chime, a ceremony) fix their own crowds to the clock — attend once, early or from the edge, and reclaim the hours around them.
Spend the afternoon in ninety rooms or an endless park. The Residenz absorbs the peak indoors; the English Garden absorbs it outdoors — both scale beyond any crowd the day produces.
End on a bench, not in a line. An Augustiner garden as the light lowers — litre, pretzel, chestnut shade — is the city's actual crowd system working as intended: room for everyone, no reservations.

Where the crowds are

Marienplatz at the chimes: The 11:00 and 12:00 Glockenspiel gatherings, then a dense afternoon.
The famous beer hall: Tour-group tides nightly, year-round.

Quiet places in Munich

The English Garden's depths: Beyond the surfers' bridge the park out-scales everything.
The Pinakothek quarter: Three great galleries, rarely a line.
